Maple Dijon Roasted Carrots

Carrots are one of my favorite vegetables! I make them as a side dish so often and am always trying to thing of different ways to prepare them. These maple dijon carrots have been at the very top of my list of recipes to make for months now (the recipe is based off of my Oven Roasted Garlic Butter Carrots) and I finally got around to making them this week. These oven roasted carrots are tender inside with a crisp outside and oh-so flavorful. The combination of maple and dijon is just incredible!

Tips on maple dijon roasted carrots

If you want to make these carrots even healthier, sub coconut oil for butter.

Cooking the carrots in the pan before baking helps the flavors seep in but if you don’t want to wash another dish, just toss the carrots with the sauce and pop them straight on the sheet pan. Cook 30-35 minutes.

You can also sub honey in for pure maple syrup.

Make sure you use pure maple syrup, not the maple syrup for pancakes! It’s thinner and more concentrated.
